I remember one of those delightful old "British Seaside" Postcards (I'd really like a copy now, but they are hard to find!) which had a guy and girl sitting mostly out of a tiny sports car, and the girl saying "That's the fifth time you've put my knee into third!"

It usually gets a laugh when I say, "Oops, nearly put your knee into third!" (the car has a floor shift as did all good early sports cars!) then I follow it up with the explanation of the postcard.

If it doesn't get a laugh, or even a quiet smile, then I consider that it was a sort of IQ test - I prefer intelligent women (who always have a good sense of humour) ... you can have better conversations with them when you can't find the energy to do anything else... :-)
